Ukraine Accuses Russia Of Wanting To Start World War III

Tired of being ignored by the west, which keeps promising financial and military aid, yet has done precisely nothing, Ukraine is stepping up the rhetoric to Hank Paulson levels. Moments ago, acting Ukraine PM Arseniy Yatsenyuk said at a cabinet meeting in Kiev that Russia wants to remove Ukraine’s pro-European government. Well of course - Russia has made it quiet clear, quite often how it feels about the illegitimate, "coup" government in Kiev which took power after Yanukovich signed a memorandum with the west that saw him remain in power until the next presidential election. But then Yatsenyuk also said:

Russia has done nothing to implement Geneva accord

Ukraine will continue to comply with Geneva accord

Ukraine urges Russia to keep promises, condemn extremists

Ukraine calls on international community to unite against Russia,

Russian invasion will turn into Europe-wide conflict, and the punchline:

Russia Wants to Start Third World War

So... in keeping with the Hank Paulson mold, could the west just signe the three page term sheet by the acting PM and deploy its armies to defend the country against the Russian bear. Yeah, crickets, much to the chagrin of HFT algos for which nothing is more bullish than flashing red headlines declaring the World War III buying momentum ignition now open.

It appears that the Obama administration's tactic of attacking your opponent with ad hominem lies has carried over to the Ukraine conflict. Oh dear, the shit is getting deep and the war drums are pounding because Putin has a backbone, the GOP, meh, not so much...

I'm fine with WWIII if that would include also justice and punishment for the likes of Greenspan, Yellen, Bernanke, Obummer, Corzine, Dimon ... shit I don't have 10 hours to type all the other scummbags here.

As for the helicopter blowing up in Kramatorsk, my NATO sources says : it was shot down by pro-Russian militias with an anti-air missile... The Ukrainians say it was the helicopter that malfunctionned... and exploded all by itself... sure it did.

Pro-Russians militias are trying to take over the airport right now...

This reminds me of that little guy in a bar when I was young that kept pushing everybody. And when you hit him in the face, 4 more bigger idiots showed up to "defend" them.

Now, as a kids, I was a pretty agressive guy and if there where only 4 guys, I didn't see a problem in it.

4 only meanth I could fight dirty and the goals was to see blood as quickly as possible so they would back down.

And if there was room to maneuver, the trick to win was to keep at least 2 on a distance.

I also knew that the fight only needed to last 2 minutes before my friends showed up because when we went for a drink, we went with about a dozen friends but always split up when we arrived. And the trick in every discussiun always was: surround the group and when everybody is in place, attack.

But mostly, numbers didn't matter. You're most likely to lose when they're in a group that feels strong because they have the numbers. Most of them don't want to bleed anyway. So first blood defines the game. And the small kid only serves to start the fight and give everybody a reason to do so.

Now in this story, Ukraine is the little guy, the 4 guys are the US and NATO who think they get to fight 1 guy with anger management problems but what those 4 don't realize that there's 12 more guys who don't care what the fight is about, all they care is that their man is cornered and those 4 are with their backs to where the real fight will start.

You sure you just don't want to go over there and fight, just for kicks and giggles or to tune up your skills? I heard that men were needed and there's free booze during quite hours to get you pumped up, and some good weed during the fight so you can ask yourself, what the hell am I doing here.

Ukraine is trying the Polish Trick. Get a Big Power on a short leash and take a suicidal run at another Big Power hoping to pull The Protector along.

Chamberlain fell for it in March 1939 when Colonel Beck lied to him - as Richard Overy puts it Beck was a 'menace,' 'arrogant and treacherous.'

So Ukraine will obviously pivot the US into conflict just as Israel did in Iraq......and no doubt the muscle-bound colossus will stumble into the one thing Richard Nixon did everything he could to avoid in 1973 - that Russians would ever face Americans directly - when Brezhnev had Soviet Marines leaving for Egypt

I respectfully disagree. Our CIA director and VP have been there, and they went as the master, not the puppet. It's the oligarchy behind the USSA that's pulling the shots here, and the end goal is war. It's a war America is not meant to win too. We are witnessing the next great empire shift, and it is going to be a hot and bloody one unfortunately.

Why should any western soldier give their life for these lieing, thieving banksters fuckin scum? I really do wish our armed services personel all said one big fuck you to the bankster elite and said we will defend our country, we will not fight to enrich you twats

"Tired of being ignored by the west, which keeps promising financial and military aid, yet has done precisely nothing,..."

Tyler, when was this promised to Kiev?

They were offered loans which they can't afford, from the IMF, on what were called "suicidal terms", and they were the very same terms and same loans that were first offered to Victor Yanukovych prior to his govts rejection of those loans on November 19th.

And that rejection is what triggered the Euromaidan protests, and the Euromaidan puppet 'govt' was offered and did accept those same loans and same financially suicidal terms!

As for promises of 'military aid', the US is the biggest member of NATO and said openly all along that the military option was ruled out in Ukraine. There was never a promise of Western military aid that I can see.

At most Russia got the West to stump-up for half the gas bill.

Looks to me like the US and EU and Russia have all completely trashed the Ukraine here. But the Ukraine's worst enemy was its own govts, and the bunch of fools and desperado in Kiev now, are by far the worst, the most damaging, and most deluded of all, and they keep digging their grave deeper. The only thing those desperate idiots are doing now is trying to force intervention via more and more talk of invasions and war.

The Ukrainians clearly are the authors of the situation, they're broke and they made themselves broke. And now the euromaidan idiots in Kiev have deliberately spat on Russia, so Russia simply said we can't possibly continue to offer you discount gas prices if you're openly rejecting us as strategic partners and going with the EU as a strategic partner. Oh, and by the way you owe us billions in unpaid gas, so pay up now.

And all the EU did then was to send in Legarde's bunch to screw them over some more with loans which they can't afford to either reject (either politically or financially), nor to service them, if they don't reject them. So euromaidan took all they could get there, and it was a poisoned challis.

So the euromaidan idiots in Kiev have simply accepted the exact same loans that Yanukovych rejected as quite impossible, and out of the question. It wasn't that Yanukovych reject Europe association, he didn't, he rejected this aspect of the association deal, which made the European affiliation impossible to sign on to.

So if you want to call those basic facts 'naive', then you better do some reading about what actually took place, and how the euromaidan clowns made it so much worse than the hopeless mess, that it already was:

Ukraine has now thoroughly crapped in its own nest in almost every possible way, and every one of the bigger powers helped them to do just that.

Ukraine has gotten nothing from the west, the loans are terrible and they were not any sort of aid. And there is no military security provisioning from the west on offer. They successfully lost their navy without a fight and they're not getting one damn thing from anyone at this point. Frankly I can't think of a modern state that has screwed itself in the ass so badly before.

What NATO and Washington have done was opportunistic iceing on an already baked Ukrainian cake. And all the advantage-taking which is now to come, is a result of Ukraine never taking responsibility for the mess that itself, had made. What is for sure though is the idiotic euromaidan goofs in Kiev are going to keep making things worse by the day.

If you think the fault and responsibility lays elsewhere then I'm afraid it's you who are being naive.

It's called external debt, and we have plenty of it. The interest on the debt requires that we fork up the troops to fight for the ones we owe money to, no questions asked and tell any story to quell the real discontent of the situation. Debt my friends, to the EU, to the Saudi kingdom, the Japanese empire, and just for kicks and giggles, China cause we already have them in our back pocket. Life is grand, play some golf, enjoy the wild life, party like a psychiatrist or a politician.

The US has been urging the Kiev regime to use force in the East Ukraine, kill enough to invite Russian military action, which they can use as the pretext to "isolate Russia" whatever that means. Kiev regime has been desperately trying the same, but can't find any troops willing to be the sacrificial pawns in the game. Because if they roll into the East, they are encountering unarmed civilians blocking their path to the "terrorists". If they kill babushkas, they will surely invite Russian military action but they can forget about returning alive. They would be dead before even the Russian troops arrive. The only alternative would be air raid, which will definitely bring Russian military in, but there won't be a single country outside the West that will oppose such Russian action. These guys are really caught between a rock and hard place and deservedly so. They can resign, but are too egoistic to do so.

in kiev, more than 100 people were killed, buddy. I do not see any civillian protester in Eastern ucraine. Just a bunch of paramilitary troops, well armed enetering official buildings and proclaiming every day a new state!! WTF?

The revolution that brought Jankovich down, was the same like that one which brought Ceausescu down. putin says they are "fascists", sure, and we say to putin "f§$%$" off.

He has 40bn in his account, so he can say whatever he likes. But wait, he does not like internet and he thinks that russians are "genetically stable". Are you guys supporting him, nuts?

Is there anyone here not genetically stable (because only russians can be) but mentally fit??

Are you fucking blind? Have you not seen the YT videos where fat old ladies and little men with sedans block APCs and tanks? Those were not "paramilitary troops." STFU with "it's all military" garbage. There's ample evidence to the contrary. If the people there were not pro-Russian, you wouldn't need to send in your military.

Very interesting material concerning the Red Shield and their bankster partners and how Putin has angered them by paying off their loans and kicking the banksters out, thus their anger and unrest in Ukraine...*******Now, this can create a deep rabbit hole. If, as some suggest, Bath House is a Russky mole, he would want to kill the dollar, the IMF's potent weapon. With such a collapse, Russia and the BRIICS would be free of Red Shield influence...

Putin and russia will pay heavily for this....what do you think he has to offer? alliances with north-koreea? uhummm....

As for the "fascist", well, he is best friend with all extreme-right f"§$! in europe. So, no more hypocrisy. USSR had half of europe for 50 and? have you already forgot? And surely, a lot of propaganda and paid s"$%§" to post here, "vlad the healer":))

Hey Relax buddy. Most people that are here are here because we have seen the abuses by our own Western governments. As far as we can tell, there are no good governments, just a bunch of self serving individuals enriching themselves on the back of the citizens of their countries.

Washington was quick to embrace these clowns in Ukraine as allies forgetting they were nobody before the coup. Poking the bear is not a smart move. It is starting to look like Ukraine is moving towards a civil war. Lets hope Obama does not get us or NATO further involved in the middle of this! More about the issue of borders and the ugly spill back that can occur in the article below.

I think the Ukraine is thinking a little too much of itself, no US or NATO troops will be deployed to help them if Russia comes a knocking, so for the second in charge of the coup to be talking like this shows they do not have a very good grasp of reality....either that or he is terrified.

He is taking his orders from the resident CIA operatives who occupy an entire floor of the government security building. I recommend that all read the very precise statement of Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov in an interview with Voice of Russia.
